I got the parts and unRARed them and burned to DVD-R and it works (took two goes though)
Not sure whether it's worth buying yet - some POIs still years out of date.
The maps seem to be more detailed in terms of the avenues in retail parks etc... seem more comprehensive.
haven't seen if any new roads are on, but there were no TMC traffic updates from 2015.

Thanks Snap.
I now have the CDROM.ISO file that I believe I burn to a CD.
But what is the CDROM.MDS file that came with it?

Ooops. I think that is a DVD

You need a single layer DVD - the MDS file works with Alcohol 120% burning software as a setup config, but you can use any DVD burning software like Nero that supports ISO. What you don't want is the ISO file burned onto a DVD!

I have the full version downloaded from a Mega link, but don't have a D3 to test it on yet (Borys if you read this drop round and I'll give you one)

Cheers

Adrian

If the rarely used optical drive of my 2011 MBP holds out I'll be whacking this in the D3 any minute now....

Thanks Adrian.
I have burnt the ISO to a DVD+R
It is absolutely persisting down at the moment so I will try it in the car tomorrow.
My problem with all this technical stuff is that I have been left behind, it grewed too fast for me to keep up, and honestly the old brain does not work like it used to.
The River Douglas is under flood warnings today. With the Cromwell Brook running along the side of our property and the Douglas behind us they are both well up. We are normally safe but this time there is an awful lot of water coming off the hills. The sports field in front of us is about a metre deep, I guess another 1.5 metres will have us panicking. Actual distance from the current high water mark to our bus is about ten metres but height difference is a good metre, I will just have to watch where I walk in the morning when I head out to work.
We cannot walk the dog, the field is too deep.
We had it worse about fifteen years back, the Douglas started to trickle into the back garden but receded when I glowered at it and threatened SWMBO would be slightly miffed if it continued.

I don't believe you wanted to do that... The ISO file,... to use one of Harry Enfield's catchphrases.

Edit, sorry to hear about the flood situation, hope it doesn't worsen.

We're not a million miles away in Warrington, and our front garden is VERY water logged and our lead flashing around the chimney stack has come away, with rainwater being blown into the loft, and onto our heads in bed in the room below last night! My parents the other side of Caernarfon have flooded too.

Hope everyone is ok out there.

What you should get when you've burned the DVD (nice and slow) is this file structure:

Burned my disc using the slowest speed the native Mac SW has (2.4x), and it worked flawlessly. Did seem suspiciously quick, I must say. Almost like nothing much has changed...

Don't think I'll bother with the Eastern Europe disc. We don't tend to venture beyond France in the car these days, and I have the 2015 disc in the boot still, unused to fall back on, if need be.

Thanks Mr Snap'.
